Kiki J. Jan 15, 2025 12:01:12 PM
Summary: We had a fantastic stay! The shed provided a huge range of areas to host and entertain (and dance) throughout the night and regardless of the rainy weather. We would book again, and another friend will be booking here for his birthday as well. Thanks Andrew and Anna xx
Rachael B. Jan 6, 2025 10:24:40 AM
Summary: A family friends birthday celebration. A number of lunches and dinners well accommodated. Great tips from Anna on setting up for the lunches and dinners
LU R. Dec 3, 2024 11:28:04 AM
Summary: we had team building in hawkesbury country retreat in the last weekend in November. Andrew and Anna are so nice and introduce the beautiful place to me. I love the animals, trees there, the canarys even sing a song for us. It is an ideal place to hold large activities. Recommend to everyone if you like country life.
Sue M. Oct 3, 2024 12:11:52 PM
Summary: Disappointed with the house we stayed in. We didn’t know that it was a “lived in” property. No room for our groceries (pantry already full). No room for clothes and was not cleaned properly. It wasn’t what we expected considering the amount of money we paid. However The Shed was a great place to celebrate my birthday with family and the courtyard was fabulous. Pool was not clean. Beautiful surroundings and we loved the bird Avery. So a mixture of a fun weekend but also disappointment.

Summary: Amazing setting with the yard, pool, river access, just a beautiful place to enjoy. Was perfect for our large family group
Helen H. Feb 9, 2023 04:44:13 AM
Summary: Everything was outstanding. The staff and management are so helpful and friendly. It was a perfect weekend!
Nina P. Dec 18, 2022 01:34:59 PM
Summary: We booked this place for a special birthday and we’re not disappointed. Only can recommend. If you require a late check out, let the owners know at the beginning of your booking. Don’t wait for them to contact you closer to the date as that might be too late like in our case. Wonderful location to hang out with friends, kids and pets. We will be back.
MATTHEW R. Aug 12, 2022 10:03:26 AM
Summary: The place was huge! Was very cozy and had many attractions. The property manager was very helpful and friendly. Would stay again.
Eryk B. Apr 28, 2022 02:42:11 PM
Summary: This is an amazing property. Anna and Andrew went above and beyond to host our group of 20 after floods came through Windsor. They managed to put the property back into shape in no time at all so that we could enjoy a really special weekend away. I can’t recommend Cornwallis enough. It’s huge, has top notch facilities for a large group and a really welcoming and inclusive atmosphere created by Anna and Andrew. We can’t wait to come back!
Hyelin & Karl S. Apr 25, 2019 06:27:54 PM
Summary: The Hawkesbury Country Retreat run by Anna and Andrew was more than we could ever have dreamed of - it really played a part in making our wedding / reception special and unforgettable. The venue itself is stunning, with many unique spaces that have been expertly crafted and curated by the hosts. Anna and Andrew were receptive, knowledgeable and extremely helpful - Anna played such a role in getting us organised with our wedding! She has such a great understanding of what needs to be done, how to get those things done, and she provided access to an almost endless inventory of decorations to beautiful the venue before the big day. I would trust them to handle any future events in a heartbeat and will not hesitate to recommend them and their venue to anyone on the market for something unique and personal.
